A dramatic thriller based on real events that reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century’s most fiercely debated organization.
The first Internet-maverick profile since The Social Network worked hard to create a a Zero Dark Thirty-level controversy/conversation with its marketing campaign. Julian Assange himself denounced an early version of the script, saying its structure was built on a series of lies – though it’s hard to know which screenplay he saw, as DreamWorks used two different books as the basis of the filmed story. Don’t expect his voice to be silent at any stage unless he wants it to be. In lighter news, director Bill Condon might find himself back in Oscar contention for the first time since his Chicago screenplay, and we will take our Benedict Cumberbatch starring roles in any form.
